Turkmen rebels are claiming they shot and killed two Russian pilots who ejected from a jet shot down by the Turkish air force over the Syrian border. “Both of the pilots were retrieved dead. Our comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air,” a deputy Turkmen brigade commander, Alpaslan Celik, told Reuters. Videos online purport to show rebels gathered around the body of one of the pilots, yelling “allahu akbar!”
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
